Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

You could clone yourself and then inhibit the chemical sequences which cause you to be male; as too make a woman clone of your self!

That might be your perfect match??

If it wasn't also incestuous, like matching up with your twin... good gosh nooo

See, this is why we can't be entrusted with cloning. xD

It is a small fish, about six inches long, but when it attaches to a ship the ship cannot move, but seems rooted in the sea, despite raging storms and gales. This fish is also called "delay" (mora) because it causes ships to stand still. (Isidore of Seville, Etymologies, Book 12, 6:34)

Given that few care about morals and ethics anymore; given that it's an evil sinful world with blurred vision; is that ban going to stop someone with the knowledge, skill, money, determination, and intent?

It never has in the past.

Precisely. I wonder what sanctions/punishments accompany that ban for those who violate it and get caught?

Well, supposedly they did find Nimrod's tomb. U.S. military surrounded it as well as Israel secret service.... (google for sources as there are many).

Some say the cloned Nimrod will be the antichrist.... Love stuff like this. It's fun, has a point, is vexing, is outrage!, and great all at the same time.

We already know you don't, so knock it off with the self-righteousness.

Calling someone self-righteous whenever a person feels uncomfortable with what is said is like calling everyone who disagrees with homosexual activities a homophobe. Its insinuation is lost after about the third time it’s done. Nothing either of us said was self-righteous and to make the claim is impulsive. Do you call your priest self-righteous when he says sin is wrong? Didn’t think so.

Oh, and your shot at the wrong target. I said it and he repeated what I said.

I understood what you wrote. If not, you should have no problem explaining. Perhaps you meant something different.

You still missed "the target". I'll wait till you have read it.

So, let's see.....I'm trying to understand your point here. You highlighted the first clause of the sentence I repeated from Kerdy's post, and then wrote, "We already know you don't, so knock it off with the self-righteousness." Were your words a reference to me and you are saying that I don't care about morals and ethics anymore? Or were they a reference to Kerdy and saying that he doesn't care about morals and ethics anymore? If either of those is the case, that seems like a) an ad hominem attack, AND b) Achronos talking out his ass again, trying to be clever and it ain't working. You see, you have no basis whatsoever to make that kind of statement about either of us, thus making the statement a lie. Yes, I wrote "lie". You are lying either about me or about Kerdy or about both of us---if your statement is to be understood as I believe you meant it. But, hopefully I'm wrong and you didn't mean it that way.

So...that's the first possibility.

Another is (you see, I'm trying to give you an "out" here--if there is one, that is)....well, how else would one understand your post? Ok, got it--you're saying that I or Kerdy don't have "...the knowledge, skill, money, determination, and intent" to clone humans. Well, that's true. But why even make such a statement? I'm pretty sure Kerdy wouldn't even consider it and I know I wouldn't consider it. So, what's IS your point?

Or...are you just having a bad day and the venom spews all by itself from your brain through your fingers onto the keyboard?

Considering your politics, you don't care about morals or ethics, let alone being a decent human being. On my scale of human goodness, you rank horrible, but not yet at Isa's terrible level.

Then you say few people care about such things which makes you self-righteous.

Many of us actually do care about the wellbeing of our fellow man.
